Chapter 120 The Thousand Crane Group's Secret
Suddenly met with cold treatment, Asano Ryo was embarrassed to speak for a long time. After a long time, she said with some grievance and nervousness, "It's like this, a few days ago, a traitor appeared inside the Chizuru Group. He stole a treasure from the organization and escaped during the Chizuru Group's siege and sneaked into China."
"The Chizuru Group wants to ask Yuan Shi-jun for help in capturing him. If successful, we will pay a reward of 100 million yen, but there is a requirement that this matter cannot be leaked, including to the Five Elements Alliance."
This is asking me to take on private work. 100 million yen is almost 5 million RMB. The rewards from the Hundred Flowers Club haven't come down yet, and I'm short of money lately!
Zhang Yuanqing didn't agree immediately, because he sensed something was wrong and asked, "It seems that the traitor who sneaked into the mainland has some secrets. It's understandable that you don't trust the Five Elements Alliance, but why ask me for help? You can completely ask the Arbiter for Agent Pat to secretly capture him."
"With the Arbiter's ability, they can handle things well even in other countries' territories. Even if it's exposed, the Arbiter is so strong that you don't have to worry about secrets being exposed, and even the Five Elements Alliance will help."
All the orderly organizations in the world are in a relationship of competition and cooperation with each other.
Although the Five Elements Alliance and the Arbiter show a seemingly estranged attitude due to political issues, the two organizations can easily reach an alliance once there is external pressure.
If the Arbiter sends Agent Pat to arrest him, the Five Elements Alliance may not interfere, at most ask about the situation and send someone to supervise.
Asano Ryo didn't answer, but covered the microphone and said in a low voice, "Mori? " After a few seconds, the girl's light and pleasant voice sounded, "Yuan Shi-jun, we believe that you are a warrior with noble virtues. It's like this, the thing that the traitor stole is crucial to the Chizuru Group, and the Chizuru Group doesn't want the Arbiter to know about this."
After a pause, she said eagerly, "If you agree to help, I will fly to the mainland tomorrow morning to talk to you in person. Before that, I hope you keep tonight's call confidential."
It's crucial to the Chizuru Group, and they don't want the Arbiter to know. Zhang Yuanqing thought thoughtfully and said, "Before you come, you need to make some preparations. Bring the traitor's information, blood, nails and other things containing DNA. At the same time, you have to convey my words to your superiors, I must know everything and understand the risks involved, otherwise I won't help you."
There was silence on the other end, as if the microphone was covered. After a few seconds, Asano Ryo said, "Understood."
The call ended, Zhang Yuanqing held the phone and frowned.
The risk he has to bear in this matter does not come from the traitor. After all, China is the territory of the Five Elements Alliance. The real risk he has to bear is—the danger from the Chizuru Group or the Arbiter.
Let's make a bold assumption, the so-called traitor is just a trap that doesn't exist at all, the purpose is to quietly lure out Yuan Shi Tianzun!
Then Asano Ryo smashes the cup as a signal, and three hundred axe-wielding men from the Chizuru Group and the Arbiter swarm out and chop Yuan Shi Tianzun, the unparalleled genius of the Five Elements Alliance, under the pomegranate skirt.
Although this possibility is not high, it has to be prevented.
'Ask Guan Ya, the Fu family is not only a local spiritual realm family, but also has close ties with the Arbiter. With her vision and knowledge, if there is really something fishy, she should be able to detect it before me.'
Zhang Yuanqing's body transformed into dreamlike starlight and disappeared into the room. The next second, he teleported to Guan Ya's room.
The room full of constellation ornaments, dolls and stickers was empty. The sound of water '哗啦啦' came from the bathroom.
T-shirts, shorts and underwear were scattered on the bed.
Old Driver is taking a shower? Hehe, let's take a shower together. Zhang Yuanqing quickly took off his pants. At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom disappeared, and Guan Ya's voice came from inside:
"Who? Yuan Shi?!"
Immediately afterwards, the tall and plump Old Driver came out wrapped in a bath towel, her wet hair wrapped in a towel, and a charming and pointed melon-shaped face was white and rosy.
Old Driver stood at the bathroom door, looking at Zhang Yuanqing who was stripped to his briefs with a squint that resembled an emoji, and scolded, "What do you want to do?!"
"Ah, you're done washing? Why didn't you wait for me." Zhang Yuanqing put on his pants without blushing or skipping a beat, covering up the towering tent.
Old Driver scrutinized him, walked to the desk, pulled out an ergonomic chair and sat down, and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't hide his inner thoughts, Insight could see his 'thoughts'. "I have something to discuss with you!"
While putting on his clothes, he told Guan Ya about Asano Ryo's call for help.
Guan Ya crossed her long legs, folded her arms, leaned on the back of the chair, frowned her long and straight eyebrows, and said slowly:
"The Chizuru Group has always been a vassal of the Arbiter, and on the surface it is the most loyal dog. However, no one in the world is willing to be a dog. As far as I know, the current leader of the Chizuru Group, Kambe Ichiro, is ambitious and does not want to be submissive like the previous leaders. He has always wanted to grow the Chizuru Group and gain more say."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "So this matter is completely reasonable in terms of motivation." Guan Ya 'hmm'ed:
"As for the motive of wanting to harm you, although the Arbiter is domineering, they are unlikely to take the initiative to hunt you down if there is no conflict of interest. The Chizuru Group has even less reason to do so."
"However, you must be careful in everything. You can ask Asano Ryo to come to Fu Jiawan for a face-to-face meeting, so that we have enough control and are not afraid of accidents. In addition, I can listen in. If she lies, I can tell."
"Remember to use Astrology and the Great Luo Star Plate to deduce things when handling affairs. If you are still not at ease, let Fu Qingyang or Ling Jun secretly escort you."
Zhang Yuanqing went through her words in his mind and nodded in agreement, "That's what I thought too, so let's decide on that."
He first sent a text message to Asano Ryo: 'Meet tomorrow morning.'
Then he ran Guan Ya from the desk, threw her on the bed, and pressed down with his strong body.
Guan Ya hooked her long legs and clamped him tightly, the two bodies clung together, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't move.
Guan Ya chuckled and said, "You move."
Zhang Yuanqing, who was locked, said helplessly, "Sister Guan Ya, it's not good for you to keep hooking me. Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?" "I'm not afraid, I can tell at a glance if you cheat." Guan Ya was full of confidence.
Because everything is under Insight, she tolerates Xie Lingxi and the Queen's various antics. Zhang Yuanqing was a little angry, "I'm going back to sleep!"
Guan Ya didn't let go, her long legs hooked more forcefully, holding his head in her chest, and said with a smile, "Are you angry??"
"No."
Guan Ya thought for a while and said, "When you reach level six, I'll take you back to the Fu family." Before Zhang Yuanqing could speak, she sighed:
"For the Fu family, level 4 is not enough. My mother definitely won't like you, and some people in the Fu family may not want to see us together. I don't want you to be humiliated for nothing."
"When you reach level six and have the same combat power as Fu Qingyang, the Fu family will not object. If anyone with no eyes jumps out, you can directly suppress them."
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "But my head hurts now." "And then???"
Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room to take a shower with satisfaction, put on his pajamas, thought for a while, took out the Elvis Presley speaker again, entered Night Wander, and said in a low voice:
"I want to know the Demon Lord's real identity."
After saying that, he cancelled Night Wander and played music with his phone.
After a song, a current sound came from the Elvis Presley speaker.
Zhang Yuanqing concentrated and waited, waited and waited, and found that there was no information except for the current sound.
'Is it that there is no information, or is it unwilling to tell me?' Zhang Yuanqing slapped the Elvis Presley speaker, put it in his newly bought waist bag, and stuffed it back into the drawer.
Nine o'clock the next day.
Zhang Yuanqing, who had eaten breakfast, received a call from Asano Ryo, saying that she had arrived at the entrance of the Fu Jiawan villa. He immediately called the gatekeeper and asked them to let her in.
A few minutes later, an extended black car slowly parked outside the small villa.
The car door opened, Asano Ryo got out of the car, looked around the courtyard, and saw the long-separated Yuan Shi Tianzun. He was as handsome as ever, and his temperament combined the remoteness and mystery of the Star Official, and the evil nobility of the Night Wanderer.
Asano Ryo's delicate face bloomed with a pure and sweet smile. She trotted into the courtyard, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and bowed deeply:

"Yuan Shi-jun."
Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized the island girl. She was wearing a girl's white dress, simple and refreshing, Mori style, a pair of square-toed leather shoes, and over-the-knee socks.
A red bow was pinned on her waterfall-like scattered hair, and she was carrying a small leather bag. "Are you the only one??" Zhang Yuanqing smiled.
"Because the teacher and the leader have different identities and are followed by all parties, it is inconvenient for them to come, so they entrusted me to visit Yuan Shi-jun." Asano Ryo seemed to remember something and quickly turned her head to greet the driver to take out large and small bags of gifts from the trunk.
"I brought island specialties for Yuan Shi-jun," she said seriously.
It can be seen that she is trying to socialize and maintain the image of a 'representative of the Chizuru Group'. "Let's go inside."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, led Asano Ryo into the screening room, and after instructing the Queen to serve tea and water, only three people were left in the soundproof screening room!
"She is my girlfriend, you've seen her in the slaughter dungeon, so I won't introduce her." Zhang Yuanqing said.
Asano Ryo naturally recognized Guan Ya. When she heard that she was Yuan Shi-jun's girlfriend, she breathed a sigh of relief, because girlfriend meant that she was one of his own.
"I didn't report your matter to the Five Elements Alliance. Now, I want to hear the details." Zhang Yuanqing went straight to the point.
Asano Ryo hesitated for a moment and said:
"The traitor is the vice leader of the Chizuru Group, his spirit realm ID is Edo Swordsman, a level 5 swordsman. He stole a very important item, which is the key to enter Takamagahara."
"What is Takamagahara??" Zhang Yuanqing felt that it sounded familiar. Asano Ryo straightened her back and explained seriously:
"Takamagahara is the heavenly world where the gods live in island mythology, and is ruled by the supreme Amaterasu Omikami. I believe Yuan Shi-jun knows that ancient myths are more or less related to spirit realm walkers."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded without interrupting. Asano Ryo whispered:
"Since the birth of spirit realm walkers, the Chizuru Group has been studying ancient mythology. We have discovered that the so-called Takamagahara is likely to be the gathering place of ancient superhumans."
"They ruled ordinary people from above, and divided ancient island society into three levels: 'Takamagahara', 'Ashihara no Nakatsukuni' and 'Yomi no Kuni'!"
"Among them, Takamagahara is the most mysterious. It is a place where only superhumans can enter and live. In the past hundred years, the Chizuru Group has been searching for the location of Takamagahara. We have gleaned from some unofficial histories, official histories, and Chinese materials that Takamagahara may be a spirit realm. This is not a guess, there is actual evidence."
She thought for a while and shook her head:
"It's not correct to explain it with a spirit realm. It should be a cave paradise established by ancient practitioners, which requires specific means to enter. If we can enter Takamagahara, we may be able to obtain the legendary Three Sacred Treasures."
"Are you absolutely sure that Takamagahara is real? What evidence is there??" Zhang Yuanqing asked. Asano Ryo nodded vigorously:
"Ten years after the end of World War II, the island government excavated a piece of jade from an ancient tomb. At first, everyone thought it was an ordinary cultural relic until a high-level member of the Chizuru Group saw it and found that the patterns on it were exactly the same as the insignia of Takamagahara recorded in the records."
With that, she opened her small leather bag and took out a document.
The document showed a round jade the size of a bowl, carved with beautiful flames and cloud patterns. In the center was a totem—a black bird resembling a swallow flapped its wings and flew high, with two eggs falling behind its forked tail!
The totem was extremely abstract and full of the charm of ancient civilization. At this moment, Guan Ya, who had been observing all the time, let out a soft 'eh':
"I've seen this totem before, at Qin Feng Academy."
